Life with Uncle Dave

I’m a crotchety old Man living on Social Security and my wits in a trailer in the woods of Alabama. In this Blog you are likely to find ponderings and complaints about medical treatment in America, Stories about my friends and family, Rants about the economy and lots of stuff about J. Edgar Dogg, my best friend and the dumbest animal in Alabama.

Ramblings

So, I’m having a lot of trouble with my shoulders. Well shoulders and clavicles (Collar Bones) probably from trying to lift to much too soon. Well that and the Dogg likes to jerk my arms around like a rag doll when I take him for a walk. It’s been very painful, bad enough I have had to take some heavy duty pain killers just to get to sleep. The occupational therapist came today and we couldn’t really do any thing because of the shoulders. He says he’ll try again on Friday.

J. Dogg thinks it’s funny but he has always been a bit sadistic. He does like to hear me yelp. I don’t like hurting like this, it makes me want to go back to the doctor and at first I thought it had to do with my heart. I was happy when I figured out it was not heart related pain but structural problems causing it. I don’t like taking pain killers as they have been know to form a habit but it beats dealing with the pain so I guess I’ll keep on trying to "Doctor" it as best I can.

They said I might try some Motrin as it relaxes muscles and that that is probably what is causing the pain in the first place. As soon as I can get some, I will try it.

Debbie and Dale have been using my van a lot lately. They got their tax return and now are getting a few things they need for the house and my van can haul thing that they can’t fit in their car.

I recorded a movie of Jon doing the things a 16 month old child does a couple days ago. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he took things apart and let the dogg out of his crate and played with him.

This whole entry is pretty much ramblings but I felt a need to get something new on the blog.
